Peace in Kosovo: Rebuilding a Future for the Balkans
After 78 days of relentless aerial bombing peace has finally arrived for the harassed populations of former Yugoslavia. On 10th June NATO-airplanes have finally stopped their raids against Yugoslavian military and infrastructure, while the Serbian troops have started to retreat from the Kosovo province, accompanied by many Kosovar Serbs who fear the revenge of the Albanians. Peacekeepers (K-For) from NATO countries and from Russia have occupied the province and the Kosovar refugees are returning to their homes. But many questions remain still unsolved: Can peace be guaranteed by the Kosovo-Force and will the cooperation between NATO and Russian forces work ? How many Kosovar civilians were slain by the Serbian militia during the conflict ? Can the murderers be put on trial ? Is a peaceful living together of Serbs and Kosovar Albanians still possible ? What will be the future status of Kosovo ? Will Serbia find the way to a democratic regime ? What will be the destiny of Slobodan Milosevic ? Who will pay for the reconstruction of the destroyed countries ? Which impact will this war have on the international system and especially on the relations between the European Union, the United States and Russia ?
